If you’re staring at a persistent “Service 4WD” light on your 2007-2014 GMC Yukon’s dash, or your truck refuses to switch into four-wheel drive, you’ve likely found the culprit. The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) is the electronic brain of your 4×4 system. When it fails, it can leave you stranded in two-wheel drive, which is a major problem in bad weather or off-road situations. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of vehicle capability and safety.
This isn’t a generic, off-the-shelf part that leaves you with more problems. We offer a direct-replacement TCCM that comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This crucial step ensures seamless communication with your truck’s other computers, like the ECM and BCM, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. You get a part that’s ready to install right out of the box.
A Technician’s Notebook: The TCCM Misdiagnosis
A customer brought in his ’11 Sierra 2500, frustrated. Another shop had quoted him over $2,500 for a new transfer case, saying it was “locked up.” The 4WD switch lights were dead, and it was stuck in 2-Hi. I scanned it and found a U0102 code—Lost Communication with Transfer Case Control Module. Before condemning a major mechanical part, I always check the controller first. In my 20+ years, I’ve seen hundreds of these TCCMs fail due to internal circuit board issues. We swapped in a programmed module, and in 15 minutes, the 4WD system was fully operational. The customer saved thousands, all because the problem was electronic, not mechanical. This is the most common failure point for these symptoms.
Is Your Yukon’s 4WD System Showing These Symptoms?
A failing TCCM can cause a range of frustrating issues. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution for your 2007-2014 Yukon TCCM problems:
- ✔ “Service 4WD” or “Service Four Wheel Drive” message on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Inability to switch between 2WD, 4-HI, Auto 4WD, or 4-LO.
- ✔ The 4WD selector switch lights are inoperative or flash continuously.
- ✔ The vehicle is stuck in one drive mode (e.g., stuck in 4-LO).
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored, such as C0327, C0398, or communication codes like U0102.
- ✔ A noticeable delay or clunking noise when the system attempts to engage.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
One of the best parts about our VIN-programmed module is that installation is a simple plug-and-play process. No special tools are required, making this a perfect job for a DIY enthusiast.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before working on any electronic components.
- Locate the Old Module: On most 2007-2014 Yukon and similar GM trucks, the TCCM is located behind the lower dash panel on the driver’s side, to the left of the steering column. You may need to remove a plastic trim panel for access.
- Swap and Connect: The module is typically held in place by a few small bolts or clips. Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors, remove the old TCCM, and install the new one in its place. Securely reconnect the electrical harnesses to the new module.
- Final Steps: Re-install any trim panels you removed and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test the 4WD selector switch to confirm all modes are engaging correctly. The “Service 4WD” light should now be off.

Frequently Asked Questions About The 2007-2014 Yukon TCCM
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
No. This is the biggest benefit of our service. We program the module to your specific VIN before we ship it. It arrives at your door ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation.
How do I give you my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we have this information to program it correctly.
Is this part compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for a long list of GM part numbers, including 24261367, 12588096, 24239190, 24240487, 24241970, and many others listed in our compatibility chart.
What if my problem isn’t the TCCM?
While the TCCM is the most common cause for these symptoms, other issues like a faulty transfer case encoder motor or a bad selector switch can sometimes be the cause. We recommend a proper diagnosis, but in over 90% of cases I’ve seen in my shop with these symptoms, the TCCM is the root cause.
Will this fix my truck being stuck in 4-Low?
Yes, being stuck in a specific 4WD mode is a classic symptom of a failed TCCM that has lost its ability to command the transfer case motor. Replacing it with this programmed unit should restore normal shifting between all drive modes.
